Netflix’s spy thriller series, The Recruit, has returned with its second season on January 30th. However, fans are wondering if a third season is in the works. Here’s what we know about The Recruit Season 3.
The show follows rookie CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks (Noah Centineo) as he navigates the high-stakes world of international espionage. In Season 2, Owen is tasked with rescuing Nan Hee from South Korea, where she was kidnapped by Russian mafia member Nichka. The mission goes sideways when a Russian patrol boat arrives, and Jang Kyun, the wife’s husband, is captured.
Owen defies orders to rescue Jang and Nan, but ultimately succeeds after Dawn’s plan is foiled by Nichka. However, this success comes at a cost, leaving Owen’s future in the CIA uncertain.
Creator Alexi Hawley has expressed optimism about The Recruit’s chances of getting renewed for Season 3. He notes that Netflix has shown goodwill towards the show and its star Noah Centineo. While there is no confirmation on whether the show will be renewed, Hawley hinted at potential plot points for Season 3.
One possible direction for Season 3 could involve Owen’s future in the CIA, which remains uncertain due to past betrayals and mistreatment. The creator also suggested exploring international locations, such as Latin America or Africa, for future seasons.
For now, fans will have to wait and see if Netflix decides to renew The Recruit for a third season.
